Mayor Andy Street will find out whether alcohol and politics mix when he hosts the first ever Mayoral Q&A in a pub.

Members of the public have been invited to join Mr Street at the event on September 19, which will be held in the beer garden of the Prince of Wales in Moseley.

The Mayor has been hosting regular 'Ask Andy' events since taking office last year, giving local people the opportunity to voice their concerns directly with him.

And he says that he's looking forward to sharing a drink with voters while fielding their questions.

“On the election campaign, I wanted to try and take the message to the people, do politics in its purest form with just me and a crowd," he said.

“They were quite successful on the campaign, giving people a chance to meet me and find out what I’m all about.

“When I was elected as Mayor, I’ve been keen to keep them as part of the communication with the people of the West Midlands.

“This will, to our knowledge, be the first Mayoral question and answer session in a pub. We’ve had ones in community centres, theatres and factories before, but never in a pub.

“The Moseley event is sure to be a lively one. I know the Clean Air Zones and reopening of the Camp Hill railway line are both hot topics in this part of the region and I expect the questions will be as challenging as ever.

"Only this time, I’ll be able to have a drink while I’m doing it!”

The event takes place on Wednesday, September 19 in the beer garden at the Prince of Wales in Moseley.
